• Plot: Years of police work have taught Detective Finlay that where there's crime, there's motive. ; ; But he finds no usual motive when investigating the beating death of a man. ; ; The man was killed because he was a Jew. 'Hate,' Finlay says, 'is like a gun.' ; ; Robert Young portrays Finlay, Robert Mitchum is a laconic army sergeant assisting in the investigation of G.I. suspects and Robert Ryan plays a vicious bigot in a landmark film noir nominated for five Academy Awards®, including Best Picture. ; ; Edward Dmytryk ('Murder, My Sweet') directs, draping the genre’s stylistic backdrops and flourishes around a topic rarely before explored in films: anti-Semitism in the U.S. Here, Hollywood took aim at injustice... and caught bigotry in a 'Crossfire'.
